mellonella 's use for a particular type of infection, such as or fungal pathogens?
: They are inexpensive, easy to handle, and produce results within days rather than weeks. Recent Research Directions
: Despite being an insect, its innate immune system shows remarkable similarities to that of mammals, including specialized cells (hemocytes) that function like human neutrophils.
: It allows researchers to follow the "3Rs" principle (Replacement, Reduction, and Refinement) by replacing vertebrate animals in early-stage studies.
: A comprehensive review on Galleria mellonella as a Model for the Study of aPDT discusses how it's used to test light-based therapies (antimicrobial photodynamic therapy) against drug-resistant "superbugs".

: Because these larvae were historically sold as reptile food, recent research focuses on standardizing laboratory breeding to ensure reproducible results across different global labs.
